ID card Replacement

CitizenCards are available in 3 age categories: '18+' for adults, '16-17' for young people over 16 and 'Under 16' for children. We offer two replacement types for all age categories - in addition to the CitizenCard ID we also offer the Yoti CitizenCard, the new digital ID solution - a physical ID card containing a smart chip plus a free digital ID app. You can select which type of card you require during the application process.

If we issued you with a CitizenCard it remains our legal property. You have the right, as the lawful cardholder, to use the ID card for the purpose of proving age and identity in the UK. You must at all times keep the card safe and minimise the possibility of it being lost, stolen or damaged. If your card is mislaid you should endeavour to find it.

Have you lost your CitizenCard?

Try to recall when your ID card was issued or contact us for this information. If your card has been issued after March 2009, start a CitizenCard replacement application below.

Costs £25 and takes 1-2 working days. Card posted by Special Delivery guaranteed Next Day by 1pm

If your card was issued before March 2009 then a replacement card cannot be issued and you have to submit a fresh application online.

If you wish to apply for a higher age band before you actually reach the age, for example if you are 17 but wish to apply for an 18+ UK ID card, you must confirm this either:

by selecting the required age band when you apply online

or by attaching a note to your application form explaining that you wish to receive a card in the next age band.

The card in this case will be issued only on the date or after your actual birthday. If we are not informed about the age band you wish to use, we will produce a card which displays the age band applicable to you at the time of despatch.
